Darling is a translation layer that lets you run macOS software on Linux, not an emulator, it's like wine but for MacOS apps.

I've been hoping this project makes significant progress for the last few years to run GUI apps. unfortunately it's been slow as there's not as much interest in getting Mac apps to run on Linux as there is with WINE. that said, I don't fault them, it's a daunting task and wine has the benefit of three decades of progress under their belt.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
